Consulting: The Cost of Doing It Yourself













If you think about it, starting a business and creating a professional presence takes time, money and effort. You know the single most important thing to do is network.. network... network.... You can't be doing both at the same time. But, you still need to show that you are part of something larger. Something that has mass behind it. Something that is high quality.  Every book written on successful consulting says image is everything in a competitive market.

You want to have collateral that speaks to your thoughtfulness, creativity and professionalism. You want to be able to demonstrate that everything you do is professional. A professional appearance requires:
  • Well designed business cards
  • Professionally done brochures
  • A high quality web presence
  • Good technique

You've gotten in the door with a potential client because of your communication skills and career credentials.

Group50 lets you get to the market quickly without a lot of expense and time. Think about the time necessary to pick a logo, design a business card, create brochures and letterhead, set-up a company, build a web site, etc. It is tremendous work requiring hundreds of hours. Hours you should be using to get networking done.

Out of Pocket Expenses if you did it yourself:
Logo Design $ 400
500 multi-colored business cards and design $ 229
Brochure design and layout $ 400
100 tri-fold multi-colored brochures $ 125
Professionally designed web presence $ 2,500
500 Printed letter head and envelopes $ 350
Newsletters and reports on networking, etc. $ 300
160 hours of your time at consulting rates $24,000

So, if you're doing this on your own, you can expect to have out of pocket expenses of around $4,300 and it could cost you over $20,000 of billable time.

The cost for a royalty free license is $2,000 and $750 every 6 months. If you want to have access to Group50 and its resources, the cost is $750 and $500 every 6 months. There are no other costs or fees.
